Aluminum strips are available in a variety of thicknesses, which can range from very thin to quite thick depending on the application. Common thicknesses include 0.005 inches (0.127 mm), 0.010 inches (0.254 mm), 0.020 inches (0.508 mm), 0.030 inches (0.762 mm), 0.040 inches (1.016 mm), and 0.060 inches (1.524 mm). Thicker strips can go up to 0.125 inches (3.175 mm) or more. The specific thickness required often depends on the strength and flexibility needed for a particular use, such as construction, automotive, aerospace, or consumer goods.
